What do non-Muslims think about this one...?

Question

I think that someone who says, more or less, that Muslims religion is based on hate for infidels, is the type of person that has to write it off as something. Like the people who think that gay people are born with a mental problem or evil, meaning, or sounding like, Muslims are just animals and were born and raised that way. It sounds the same, to me, ¿¿¿What do you think??? I was standin on a corner in Winslow, Arizona, such a fine sight to see...(time to change the channel)

I guess some people don´t remember the silly lines from the bible like, ´spare the rod, spoil the child´ or ´he who is without sin cast the first stone´ and also geniuses I AM CATHOLIC. I said non-Muslims but I didn´t classify myself. You did though. What does that say?? a Ba bye.

Answer 1

If one were to ask the question "why do terrorists hate us?" the easiest answer is to target what you can see.

1. Who attacks us? --> Angry Muslim people.
2. Where are they from? --> Mostly middle-east.

Conclusions? Muslim people from the Middle East are the problem.

The obvious problem with this statement is that all Muslims are not the same!!! Carpet bombing the Middle-East won't solve the issue at hand... But it's a much easier answer than looking at 100 years of American Foreign policy, Middle-East relations with the West as well as other Mid-East nations, 4000 years of history in that area....

That's too much reading, man! Let's just hate people instead. It's just ignorance, dude. Way easier than thinking.

Answer 2

Gay people don't fly planes into buildings, blow themselves up to kill as many innocent bystanders as possible, or put people on trial for their lives for the "crime" of converting to a different religion. Only the "religion of peace" features adherents who support such things.

Before you tell me that the terrorists are the tiny minority, let me ask you where the demonstrations against Islamic terrorism have been in the Muslim world. I'm Catholic, and I'm here to tell you if someone flew a plane into a building in the name of catholicism, there would be millions of angry Catholics flooding the streets denouncing the act and distancing themselves from a warped view of Catholicism. Why are we not seeing that in the streets of the Muslim world?

Answer 3

Jihadists today invoke the Quran to justify the worst terrorist crimes. Throat slitting of infidels is mentioned in the Quran. Al-Mawardi (d. 1058), the prominent 11th century jurist quoted this verse, specifically, « When you encounter those who deny (the Truth) then strike (their) necks. » (Quran 47 :4), in his learned discussion of jihad. This ritual execution is also mentioned in other Muslim legal texts and in narratives of Christian and prominent Muslim historians. Today it is performed against infidels and recorded on videotape for the edification of Muslim audiences.

When the average pious Muslim reads a verse like 2:132 (“And this was the legacy that Abraham left to his sons, and so did Jacob; ‘Oh my sons! Allah hath chosen the Faith for you; then die not except in the Faith of Islam’”) or 3:67 (“Abraham was not a Jew nor yet a Christian; but he was true in Faith, and bowed his will to Allah’ (which is Islam), and he joined not gods with Allah”), he understands what so many imams tell him: that the true Jews and Christians of today are the Muslims, and the people who go by those names are renegades and rebels against God.

This is of course nonsense.

Answer 4

I think that is a false analogy. Reality is that many Muslim leaders do preach hatred & intolerancof non Muslims. Reality is also that "moderate" Muslim leaders either make excuses for this hate or remain silent. If Muslims don't want to be thought of as evil, they need to actively change their image.
